The warm sunny days have melted the snow; the robins are returning, and the snowdrops are ap- pearing. With spring around the cor- ner the world seems bright 'and gay. But not so at the S.C.I. Oh, no! With spring comes Easter, and with Easter comes Easter exams. The ev- enings are spent in studying and cramming, while the mind thinks of fishing, tennis and holidays—every- thing but exams. Ah, me; such is life! Spring is here! The regular meeting of the Junior Red Cross was held in Grade X on March 23rd. The convener of the ewing'group, Jean Hurford, reported that two quilts had been finished by .•the sewing group and taken to the; go:11°r Red Cross rooms. It was mov- ed and seconded, that the next two meetings be postponed due to the com- ing Easter examinatiens.

The story portrays • the proud and tri- umphant character of George, M. Co - as he has an audience, with the president of his beloved . United States. Although rejected from the army during the war' of 1914-1918, he dance's and sings his way into the heart of every American. Many old ftwarites of the last war, such as "Ov- , and "Yaiakie DooiNe Dandy" are sung hY Cohan. James Cagnsy plays George M. Co- han as if he were inspired. The role of his wife is played by Joan Leslie, who again is very *harming. This movie, "Yankie Doodle Dandy," gives great entertatament, but also signi,. lies the spirit of the American peo, ple when confronated with the stu- pendous challenge of war.—.J. MdM.

Shrubs61For Shade, On every citystreet shrubs can be seen reeling along the walls of the houses, struggling to see the sun: poor scruare pegs in round holes as it were. There are shrubs which grow well in shade but they are not the:. most atir'adtive and popular ones. f it is desired to plant shrubs in a shaded location, the size such shrubs should be at maturity. should be considered and those chosen which will grow in shade, says R. W. Oliver, Division of Horticulture, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. As ,a low shrub which will grow"to three feet high, Thunbergi Barberry or the Alpine currant will both do well in shade, and there are several low ground covers such as periwinkle, Pachysandra and Euonymus. In medium height of four feet or so the Spiraeas (10 fairly well in light shade such as is found on the north side of buildings where there are no trees. But for mere' dense share Hills of Snow (Hydrangea arborescens) is the best of the lot, producing large trusses of greenish -white flowers in midsummee which hold, on for a long period to Brighten a dingy corner. The ash -leaved Splraea, (Sorbaria sorbifolla), is also 8 good shrub of the same height for bloom in mid- summer. It does well in deep shade and these two are good in siuitions where ice falls from the roof in win- ter as they need severe pruning in spring for best results so• that any breaking of their branches in Winter has no serious effect, • Snowberry is another shrub which does well in shade and grows.to about four' feet. Its large white berries are very attractive., from August until they 'urn brown very late in fall and winter knocks them off. Kitchen Salvage Kitchen • utensils are' the home- maker's tools of trade, As the need for metals ibr essential war jobs con- tinues, it becomes increasingly impor- tant that housewives take exception- ally good Care a their kitchen be- longings,. It -is also essential that as soon as any metal utensil wears out, it be turned over to the local salvage cen- tre. With a little intensive "bird-dog- ging" many kitchen derdlicts can be found lurking in the' back of kitchen cupboards which ,could be put to good use in re,unitione factories. Here are some pointers in the use and care of .various cooking utensils supplied by Consumer • Information Service: Aluminum,- which is one of the most satisfactory of the house- wive's kitchen helpers, is now irre- placea.ble. It shOuld be cleaned with mild soap and a fine abtaeive. A stain inside a pan that cannot be removed by scomktg, will usually yield to boil- ' ing vinegar and Water. Never use an alkaline solution swab as baking soda. 'Alkalis corrode this Metal. HeaeM,iof glass and eartehnware utensils retain the heat for a long time. They actually go on cooking after they are removed from, the Irkt- chen range. While they are still hot, care should be taken that.they doiqt come in contact pith cold water. Wr- en a _small wet patch maktause a break. Heavy iron cooking - utensils are fotind in most kitchens and are excel- lent for ,.slow cooking, Many frying pans are -made of this metal. As they rust very, eially, they ehouldabe dried carefully after being washed with'bot water and alkaline soap to remove the grease. Tin utensils should never be scour- ed. By doing this the thin tin coating .shars away quickly and then the metal base ecomes exposed to rust. Burnt food can be removed by soak- ing or heating for a few minutes in hot soap suds. To be sure that there is no moisture ]eft on the utensils' surface before they are put away, al- ter they'are dried they should be left out in the kitchen where it is. winos.
